Foodie Gifts on Etsy

You’ll love these fun foodie gifts found on Etsy!

When I’m stuck for a unique gift, my first port of call online is Etsy. If you’re not already familiar with this online marketplace of handmade goodies (and then some), then I suggest you take a visit when you have a lazy couple of hours to kill because you will be hooked! With a new house nearing completion, I’ll certainly be scouring the listings for gorgeous items I need want.

In their own words:

“Etsy is a marketplace where people around the world connect, both online and offline, to make, sell and buy unique goods.”

I’ve personally been an avid buyer and seller on Etsy for a number of years, having bought everything from Blythe doll eye chips to Crème Brûlée flavoured lipbalm. Being a collector of unique dolls, Etsy has never failed to help me find the right sized wigs, clothes and other doll-related sundries that eBay lacks, nevermind physical stores here in Australia.

Etsy has the knack of helping people find gifts that are one-of-a-kind. In a world full of mass-produced trinkets that end up as landfill (admit it, you’ve thrown out at least one mug from Nanna!), it’s hard to find something that stands out. You want to give a gift that show someone you’ve put thought into it and therefore will be cherished for years to come.

Etsy is also the go-to online shop to find a present for the proverbial person in your life who has everything. Whatever obscure interest your loved one has, I guarantee there will be something on Etsy that they’ve never seen before or even thought existed.

Don’t take my word for it though. Just type in ‘entomologist‘ and watch the amazing array of stuff that will bring tears to a bug-catcher’s eyes! For people who prefer food over insects though, I’ve got together some cool, quirky and useful foodie gifts on Etsy for your gourmet buddy:

Fun Cookie Cutters

Bored of the usual star or heart shaped cookie cutters? Get yourself a cutter that better suits your personality and interests. I love this cookie cutter of the late David Bowie in Ziggy mode. You can also find people who will personalise cutters to your liking.

Gastromony literally means 'lead by the stomach' which seems pretty apt for a food blog but mostly it's a play on the word gastronomy and my nickname Moni. I like to call this blog an adventure in cooking and the Thermomix, or gastronomy by Moni :)
